Demonstrate that diversity is a source of wealth is not easy.The difficulties encountered require to put in place strategies and differentiated solutions to resolve. The school must promote the development of the potential of each one starting from the characteristics, needs, the needs and requirements of each individual as well as organize targeted and differentiated.

Family, school and territory must work together ... but most of the time is just utopia.
 As a teacher I feel the inadequacy of the tools available to me compared to the ambitious objectives set out by current standards. I feel left alone to face the problems, no signs, no special training and no support of routes and appropriate teaching materials.
 For my part there is a great willingness and openness to foreign students but encounter many difficulties in the daily management of the work in the classroom and with family relationships.

Very often foreign children studying in Italy tend to hide the suffering and difficulties related to the fact of having to disguise to be similar to others. They will in fact frequently asked to adapt quickly and find their own place within the rules and daily routines.
 I feel helpless in front of this. As a special education teacher I warn my failure. Interact with curricular colleagues often hard already when I rise in defense of the student with disabilities that I follow .. let alone a student of class which, according to them, would not have direct responsibility.

   

Every child is "rich", the bearer of potential, originality, history and memory, is active child, builder of its own relationships and knowledge, needs a path that meets the needs of the children themselves. (National Guidelines 2004)

To grow you need to meet someone else; someone to deal with, someone who will listen and listen, able to be at the same time limit and resource thus stimulating a serious dialogue, respectful, constructive.

I could not participate in the webinair but I saw the video and I'm even more sorry. I was not aware of the language profile of the students or the fact that it was possible to create even starting from descriptions and drawings. The use of role-playing games definitely helps to create greater empathy. The more I get into this course and I realize I do not know many things .. alas ... but thanks to this course I can still fix !!

You must start with an inclusive education with courses focused on 'cooperative learning and metacognition with workshop activities to promote the development of knowledge and skills, but above all by building skills to create a sense of identity within the group class cognitive, cognitive and social destination. Children share, guided and encouraged by teachers, a journey of self-discovery that express certain basic needs of physical, cognitive and affective. The activities should focus on active and constructive methodologies, able to put at the center of the pupil and make him aware of their own behavior, making him constantly reflect on their own learning processes. Specifically I worked on paths workshop which privileged the arrangement of the setting to facilitate circular communication. L 'organization of' classroom was inflexible for the 'unavailability of suitable spaces that allowed a better composition of the groups. Through the "Circle time" we have offered children the opportunity to communicate with all members of the group looking face every interlocutor, sitting face to face, knee to knee. It is favored, in this way, a deeper mutual knowledge, they have built relationships and rewarding exchange of views. The active communication methods used are: Brain-storming, Brainwriting, Tutoring, Cooperative - learning Logbook.

Laboratories identity I've worked on are:

I WRITE MY STORY - A hospitality project to rewrite their own story with class members (autobiographical diary). Each student is told in words and voice through the pages of the "Diary to open the new class, newly formed, mutual understanding.

 TO  MY HOME ..- The workshop intends to offer the class a chance to be adopted as a culture and as a family. It is expected that some pupils are hosted by some foreign families of the class in the afternoon to Unwind homework together and play. Students will have to make a report on this exchange experience. You are covered by the use of cameras and audio-visual material. Of course it assumes the cooperation of families. These activities were based on those presented by the Intercultural Center Mondinsieme
